With just a few days to go we breathlessly sample fresh olive oil, label bottles, pack boxes and try and slot into place the final pieces of the book and olive tour in England, when we will be bringing embroidered aprons and farm almonds too. (Visit our online shop for a picture of the kitchen aprons).

Here are the dates. If you are not in the UK but would still like to read the book, please try Amazon through this site or your local bookshop. By using Amazon through this site it helps us a little. Many thanks. Tell your friends and by all means get in touch with us direct. We are so grateful of the support we receive from around the world.

The good news is we are almost on track. What worries us is that because we live half way up a mountain a thousand miles away from our publishers we will not see a book until a day before the first event. The weather could be a challenge too, with snow predicted here there and everywhere.
One chestnut has been which vehicle we should hire for such a grand excursion. I have literally spent days trawling through online websites, balancing costs with load space, economy, performance and comfort, and we have finally opted to put our faith in Fiat. The Iveco Daily Rent company makes sense given their Europe-wide network, and we will be putting 4500 kilometres on the clock of a Scudo Multijet.
If that all sounds a bit technical, my apologies, but in a dim and distant past life I was a motoring journalist, and I have half a mind to write detailed road test report if any journal is interested. Our tour will certainly have a motoring flavour because in Shaking The Tree I have a mild tilt at Jeremy Clarkson. Well, he has been rude about Norfolk and about people who live in Spain.
We may even get to discuss such trivia face to face. He auctioned a copy of the book for charity in his home town of Chipping Norton last month, and should be up to speed by now as proofs were handed to him after the event. Maybe he will pop along when I show up to sign copies in his local bookshop on December 4.
